Can someone explain to me the actual time in minutes or hours, whatever. How long is a 'fast charge'. Assume you have a three quarters batter discharge on a trip. How long does it take to recharge that battery.

People keep saying fast charge and quick charge which no definition in time.

Not to argue 'gas vs electric', just comparing time to fill tank vs time to charge when you are on a trip that's more miles than a battery will take you and you need a charge somewhere, wherever that exists.

I would enjoy a reply to that myself.
Once we pulled into a fuel stop right behind a Tesla. She plugged in while my DW headed to restroom, and I walked the dog around the rig touching tires and hubs. Wife came out, I pulled over to pump, filled. Wife and dog had got back to pickup, so she moved it back to edge of PL while I restroom and got some snacks. I noticed the Teslas where eating. We ate chips and left. About 20 miles down the road that Tesla passed us. I have no idea what state of charge was when arrived or left. Maybe they just got enough to get somewhere cheaper?

I would think that for a few years, most EVs in CGs will be toads, or travelers stopping for charge and picnic. That would be a revenue stream for the owners.

Additional revenue streams are often way over-rated. You have many variables to consider before it makes sense to add an amenity even if you can charge for it. To start with, how much does it cost and how much can you charge? The history of posts in these forums often indicate the service should be free and used to attract additional customers. Many parks I know are turning away reservations because they are full so that model surely isn’t profitable. And regardless of what some people post, adding any electrical service isn’t free and you cannot just add loads to wiring because at some point I he circuits will overload and trip. EV charging is going to require parks to change their electrical infrastructure and that will involve excavation since every park I am familiar with has underground wiring to the sites . And when you install that new wiring it has to cross roads, other utilities and parking pads. It gets real expensive very quickly.
Then you have to consider if adding an amenity, no matter how profitable, brings in a desirable customer. If it becomes common knowledge RV parks have charging stations will that draw a bunch on EV owners, sans RVs who wish to charge? That would be an unwanted development for most parks. They don’t want people who aren’t staying at the park walking the grounds, using the restrooms and playing in the playgrounds while they wait for the charge to finish, no matter how much they could charge. I believe the vast majority of parks are going to just wait and be followers rather than being at the forefront of EVs.
